History

Established in 2012.

Myapapaya juciery + kitchen was named after our daughter Mya. Mya was 3 months old when we opened the neighborhood spot. We wanted a place that did not exist in the Fort Lauderdale area — something healthy, wholesome and flavorful.

At Myapapaya juicery + kitchen we believe in conscious dining where the consumer is empowered to know what they are consuming. The idea carries through in the way the ingredients are thoughtfully selected and prepared, to ensure the fresh premium produce retains its natural goodness and flavors. No deep fat frying or microwaves are found here. Myapapaya caters to discerning diners who seek a healthy wholesome meal without compromising on taste and presentation.

Cataula, GA
Came down to visit from GA and found this place to go have lunch. Really quant place, has a strong smell when you first walk in but all the food looks really good. It’s an all organic, natural place which really appealed to me. I ordered the bison burger and banana kush cacao smoothie. It was really tasty and very filling. My major complaint, and the sole reason why this is not getting 5 stars, was the hostess who I ordered the food from. His name was Michael, a decent looking young man, but was very rude and did not seem to really care for us. I thought this was disrespectful and only after saying something did his attitude change for other customers! Customer service is a big deal and was what turned me off from this place. However all the other staff were really nice and friendly.

Pleasantly surprised with the friendliness and quality. Happened to look over while at the gas station and after reading the reviews decided to give it a shot… For sure a place I will be visiting again. The avocado toast was just perfect! Make sure to take your time reading the menu, there are are a lot of good options.

After a long day of travel from DC, all I wanted was a refreshing juice and bright mid-​afternoon snack. After a quick search on Unilocal,I found this gem!
THE AMBIANCE: relaxed and chill — plenty of seating.
THE SERVICE: everyone who works here looks and acts super happy. No complaints!
THE MENU: this is one of those places that I would come to every week just so I could try the MANY tempting options. We got the daily special — hog snapper with mango salsa and coconut rice. The fish was fresh, the salsa was bright, and the rice was so interesting. My BF gobbled it up before I could take two bites. We also got the beet and citrus salad with goat cheese, which is the perfect salad I’ve been looking for all my life. Red and yellow beets, fresh grapefruit and orange wedges, fennel and a beautiful pomegranate dressing. The salad of my dreams!
THE SMOOTHIES: so many smoothies, so many juices, so many options! This is where I had issues choosing because everything looked so good. Another one of those «let’s come every week to try something new» situations… We ended up getting the fruit of the gods smoothie with papaya, mango, and house made coconut milk. No added sugar! Just like the smoothies we used to get in Dominica.
In summary, this place embodies what I think of as Florida fresh — bright, friendly, and delicious!

The food here is consistently amazing. The staff are so friendly and helpful. There is also a complimentary water jug mixed with some fresh produce upon waiting for your food to come out — delicious and thoughtful.
I usually come here for breakfast so I don’t know how their lunch food is. «Start me up» is a really good breakfast that comes with toast and grape jam, two eggs, avocado, and pico de gallo.
Everything about it was AMAZING — I even took the jam home with me in New England. The eggs were cooked just the way I wanted and the toast was very tasty and different. The pico de gallo tasted very fresh and delicious as well. I mixed some of it with my eggs.
Overall, though the food is a bit pricey, mostly everything is organic. You do get what you pay for. The açai bowl is great too. Just like from Brazil.

Really cool tucked away place. I have been to that 7⁄11 gas station so many times wondering about the place. Thanks Unilocal reading reviews is so easy.
Ordered turkey burger and falafel. Sorry about the pictures… combination of hungry and the food looked so good took pics after a few bites.
Food is fresh and vagrant with colors and veggies, you feel good with every bite and the taste is on point.
Definite repeat, service is kind of slow but hey it’s kind of a hippy place:) have a side of patience coming in.

My favorite healthy place in south Florida! Everything I tried here was amazing, from the bison burger, portobello salad, and the sandwiches! You can never go wrong.
My favorite thing made here is the Acai bowl! It is beyond amazing, the granola is SO good. If you enjoy a clean and healthy meal, this is the place for you. Obsessed

I like this place — the food is good and fresh and tastes healthy in a good way. I love the salads. The fresh pressed juices are also good, as are the smoothies. This is a good casual spot to pop in for a meal or a snack and feel at the same time you’re getting good food.
The staff is a little spacey, but I find it charming. Don’t be in a rush here, it’ll just frustrate you. Go with the relaxed flow and everything will be alright.

Thanks Unilocal for this gem.
Right near the beach, parking not a problem. Zero wait for both ordering and food (Thursday at noon). Helpful staff.
Classic bison burger — completely amazing. I don’t care for the ketchup but it also doesn’t need it. Got it on a bed of spinach and a bland salad.
Definitely worth coming by for a clean, simple meal.

Great selection. Had the grain bowl and it was delicious. Also had the date smoothie and it was tasty– however didn’t taste the dates.
Only complaint is that it smelled very strongly of cleaner/​bleach near our table.
Okay place for kids. Very friendly staff.
Excited to try breakfast there

Hollywood, FL
Fresh! Beautifully presented! Healthy! Delicious! Great variety! Made to order right in front of you! Absolutely loved this place for lunch or casual dinner. Falafel wrap and sweet potato loaded with kale, avocado and grilled chicken was fantastic. Both Soups are delicious carrot ginger and spicy bean. Juices, smoothies, fruit salad all are very very good. Located right across from Galleria Mall in a little strip shopping center. Small and cozy inside with colorful décor. You will find a few seats outside as well. Order at the counter and pick up your food once it’s ready.

Great for a healthy light lunch. We got a spicy tuna bowl which was not at all what I expected — quinoa ginger sprouts peanuts and, I think, canned tuna, which doesn’t sound appetizing now that I type it out but my guy really liked it.
I ordered a thick Avocado and Greens smoothie sweetened with dates. It was thick and filling.
This place is ideal for a quick casual meal.

Be nice to the little girl sweeping the floors. She runs the joint. And don’t let her little stature fool you. She knows people with a certain set of skills so you better come right.
The grub is so fresh and so clean. The whole menu is healthy and delicious thanks to the chefs close attention to detail and quality. Mya has raised the status quo of juice and kitchen combos.
There’s a huge list of smoothies to choose from, but take my word on this one, go on the «blind date». You’ll never look at dating the same way again. For better or worse, now you’ve been there. Just don’t tell your mom.

This place has the best, healthy, organic, good for you, make you feel fantastical food ever! I want to take you with me everywhere I go on my travels. I will come back to FT Lauderdale just for you. Really I’d never come back except to see you.
The people who work here make you feel as fantastical as the food: Friendly, lovely and real.
I had the Bison burger on spinach leaves three times. I had the Blueberry smoothies twice. I had the greens salad once.
I felt powerful, fuelled and dialled in every time I ate here.
get some O M F G in you.
come to Myapapaya pronto.

I have been wanting to try out this place for quite awhile but it would end up always being on Sundays (which they are closed). Finally I got in and sadly i wasn’t super impressed. The juices are all premade and prebottled and pricy. 10 bucks for most of them. The food is also really pricy. I ordered a tuna bowl and it was 14 dollars. Therefore juice and my lunch was $ 25. The daily specials were 13.50! That’s insane for lunch.
The actual tuna bowl was very tasty. It was mixed up with quinoa, alfalfa and flavored with some tasty sauce. It definitely needed like a piece of bread or something though. Since I was home I was able to do that. And for the price not worth it.

Tried this when I was visiting in the area after a cruise and in the mood for a smoothie. Got the Hawaiian Dream (without ginger) and it took about 5 – 10 minutes for it to be made. In the meantime, while I waited, I looked around and everyone’s food looked terrific. The workers were all very nice here, and there are two cash registers!
The smoothie itself was good — nothing amazing, but it did feel fresh. A bit too sweet, but I’ll be back for their food if I’m ever in Fort Lauderdale again.

Another place where healthy food looks pretty and appetizing but once you eagerly bite-​in the lack of flavor is devastating. The restaurant is small, cute and modern, the interior décor is fresh and inviting and we found service to be friendly.
I tried the Chicken tortilla soup — it lacked depth and most importantly — flavor. To be honest most of the small menu just seamed unappealing and uninspired, taken straight out of a mediocre deli but prepared with some organic ingredients which of course means it’s more expensive. I found Myapapaya unimaginative and boring but they do have potential, they should look at places like The New Vegan in Delray, where they make mouthwatering healthy food.

«TREAT YOSELF!» Its my Friday, my tummy is empty, and I want to try somewhere new (and healthy). Pheew-​weeee was my tummy happy afterwards!
Now, I’ll get straight to WHY I give this place 5 stars…
The food items on the menu are not really anything diff that I’ve seen before EXCEPT for the Bison (cali-​style) burger. But no meat for me, only fish. So I asked if it can be substituted for maui maui. The cashier said no, only salmon or grouper, no biggie. I’m debating, and then I finally decide just no meat at all.
So she goes to the back, assuming she’s asking if that’s possible. She said yes. The burger itself was $ 13. I don’t expect, nor bother to ask to reduce the price, but it went down to $ 7!!! I felt like such a dork how eternally grateful I was for that, but life is all about those little things man! That is how customer service is done people! I then checked-​in to get my free bowl of soup. Lentil, split pea, or bombay squash. bombay it is baby and good gawd was it flavorful and delish (and very filling)! The burger (or my own custom made sandwich) was ahhmazing, perfectly crafted, love the cauliflower and cranberries on the side. A little too much alfalfa sprouts for me but just took some out.
The place is small but cute, quirky. The stigma for those who eat organic or super health-​conscious are snobby and/​or rich. And that’s definitely what I picked up on most of the customers there and some of the employees. As for the juices/​smoothies that these reviews rant of how expensive, unfortunately, that’s how they will be everywhere when it’s cold pressed or organic.
The 2 things I did not like were that the patrons who ate the food there and opted for h2o, like myself, having to keep getting up to their cooler to refill, ESPECIALLY when they ask for tip. And they ask to clear our tables the same system as Panera Bread does, trash in the trash and their dishes in a bus-​boy tub. I thought that was very tacky. There were about 3 flies hovering it for the whole time I sat there.

Honestly one of my favorite meals while I was vacationing in Fort Lauderdale. Bf & I stopped by Myapapaya for a quick lunch prior to a Stand Up Paddle boarding lesson at the park across the street.
It was hard to make a decision, everything sounded amazing. I opted for the mozzarella, tomato, walnut-​basil pesto sandwich and he went with the Mahi fish sandwich (slaw & hot sauce style). Side of the day was Tabouli. We devoured our lunches. Everything was so fresh, purposefully seasoned & prepared and just tasted healthy, you know? I typically don’t love tabouli (too much parsley for me) but theirs was amazing.
I think I almost cried when my smoothie was gone. I went for the Brazilian Uplift, which was berry based with acai, goji, blueberries and some other yummy things. Truly the best smoothie I’ve ever tasted. The combination of fruits just made me happy. I know that sounds dumb, but they did.
Bf opted for The Pink Lady, a standard mix of Strawberry, Banana & Pineapple. I didn’t love his as much as mine, but it was still fresh and delightful.
Sure, it was a little pricy for lunch (around $ 40 for 2) but SO worth it. I wish I could eat there every day!
